Most people don't realize but the original "Old Master" pattern was Gorham Old Masters in which different pieces depicted one of the Old Master Artists. The pattern was introduced in 1885 by Gorham. It was designed by Antoine Heller, a French born designer who first worked for Tiffany before Gorham hired him away to work for them.
This is a very unique pattern. Each piece is three dimensional, ornate, and heavy on details. Some of the artists on these pieces I was unable to identify.
